What lands in your inbox on Saturday
Chase a proposal that went quiet
Ankush Chauhan
Saturday
The chore: you sent a proposal ten days ago and heard nothing back.
The prompt:
I sent a proposal to [client name] on [date] for [what the work is], priced at [price]. They have not replied. Write a follow-up email under 80 words. Do not apologise for following up. Ask one yes-or-no question they can answer in a single line, and offer a 15-minute call to walk through it. Keep my tone [plain / warm / formal].
Five minutes:
- Fill in the brackets.
- Paste it into ChatGPT or Claude.
- Cut any line you would not say out loud.
- Send it from your own inbox.
Check before you send: the price and scope in the email are the ones you actually quoted, not ones the AI made up.
